CHAPTER 15 Sending and Receiving Email Messages
About email accounts
The VersaMail application is software that lets you access email on your handheld from an
account with an email provider (such as Earthlink or Yahoo!) or from your corporate email
account. For each email account you want to access, you must set up an account on your
handheld. For example, if you have an Earthlink account and a corporate account, set up one
account for each. You can create up to eight email accounts on your handheld.
You must have an account with an email provider or a corporate account. The
VersaMail application works with these accounts to transfer messages to your handheld. The
application is not an email service provider.
Account and connection types
You can set up two types of email accounts on your handheld:
Wireless Send and receive email directly to and from your handheld using the built-in
Bluetooth® technology or by positioning the IR port on your handheld so that it can beam to the
IR port on your mobile phone.
Synchronize Only (Windows computers only) Transfer messages from the email application on
your computer (such as Microsoft Outlook) to your handheld by synchronizing. You can’t send and
receive messages wirelessly for this type of account.
Using an email provider
If you are setting up a new email account and have a well-known email provider (Internet service
provider, or ISP) such as Earthlink or Yahoo!, many of the required settings during the account
setup are automatically configured.
For other ISPs, you need the following information:
• The protocol used for incoming mail, such as Post Office Protocol (POP) or Internet Message
Access Protocol (IMAP)
• The name of the incoming mail server
